Over the past decade, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have
significantly increased worldwide, leading to widespread power outages and blackouts. As …

Non-utility owned distributed energy resources (DERs) are mostly untapped currently, but
they can provide many grid services such as voltage regulation and service restoration, if …

Natural disasters such as hurricane would cause damages in distribution systems (DSs),
resulting in large-scale blackouts. In order to reduce socioeconomic losses under blackouts …

Research on demand response and transactive energy systems often require granular,
appliance-level demand data. However, there is no existing test system with such appliance …

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery energy
storage systems (BESS) can be operated collectively as microgrids. Microgrids can be …

Reconfiguring power distribution after an outage is commonly performed to restore service
to the maximum number of end-use customers. However, the ability to reconfigure the …

Power system simulations with long-term data typically have large time steps, varying from
one second to a few minutes. However, for PV inverter semiconductors in grid-connected …

Current transactive controls use marginal benefits and marginal costs to achieve an
economic market efficiency during normal grid operations. However, the transactive …

PV inverters can provide reactive power while generating active power. An ongoing
microgrid implementation at Duke Energy actively engages non-utility PVs to …

PV inverters can provide ancillary services while simultaneously providing active power. A
transactive energy system (TES) incentivizes a PV inverter to provide ancillary services and …
